- The first one that I thought was incredible was a bus that drives on the highway that is raised above the cars and drives on a rail track on the highway. It goes slower than the normal highway speed but it allows cars to pass underneath it. Also, if something goes wrong with it, and it stops, cars can still pass underneath it and it won’t cause traffic. It is in China right now and they are waiting for permission for test runs. It the picture below it is at a rest stop on the highway but it doesn’t block traffic. Genius.
- Another invention that caught my eye was "the car from the future" it was invented in Hungary and it is called the Antro Solo. It can fit up to 3 people (including the driver). One thing that is really interesting is that the driver is in the middle of the car and the passengers are on either side of them. The passengers have peddles and they peddle for electricity for the car. The car’s main's source comes from an electric motor that gets its power from solar panels.
- Lastly, People are trying to figure out ways to get natural energy source but they keep thinking wind is the best choice (wind turbines) but instead of wind, why don’t they use ocean currents? A Swedish company called Minesto created and underwater kite that gets energy from the ocean's currents. They say it generates 800 times more energy than sky sources. Even in calm waters it can generate 500 kilowatts of power!
